WILLOW WOOD - A little help, please.
That was the cry for the Symmes Valley Lady Vikings Monday, and the cry was answered in a 59-31 win over the South Gallia Lady Rebels.
With three starters getting into foul trouble early, the Lady Vikings bench provided some key contributions as they improved to 6-10 on the season.
"Our bench was the difference in this game tonight," Lady Vikings coach Lisa Bryant said. "With three starters in foul trouble, our other players stepped it up.
"Kayla Saunders did a great job running our offense and did very good on defense. Ashley Wilson stepped it up on defense, Megan Coomes and Tiffany Bryant also contributed by working on the offensive and defensive boards."
Brittney Wilson hit four 3-pointers as she scored 14 points to pace the Vikes offense. Rebecca Capper had 11 points and four steals, and Tiffany Bryant grabbed seven rebounds. Saunders had five assists and three steals.
Symmes Valley took a 17-12 lead in the first quarter, then pulled away to a 30-19 halftime lead.
The Lady Vikings held South Gallia to just 12 points the second half and led
49-26 after three quarters en route to the easy win.
"I can't say enough about how hard our kids worked defensively, especially our players off the bench. This was a great team effort with everyone contributing in some way. Hopefully, this kind of game will spill over into the postseason tournament," coach Bryant said.
